So you want to plan a trip to Las Vegas. Great decision! Now, the question is what are the nicest and fanciest places in town?

So which hotels exactly are the nicest and fanciest? Well good place to start would be the AAA Five Diamond Award winning hotels. These include the Venetian, Bellagio, MGM Skylofts, the Four Seasons, and we certainly can’t forget about the Wynn.

Are you looking to do a little high stakes gambling while in town? Don’t worry as all of these properties can handle those high limits you enjoy (except the Four Seasons, as it doesn’t offer gambling). As of late though, most of the high rollers are enjoying playing at the Wynn, Venetian, and Bellagio.

The Bellagio is the hotel that is most remembered for the fountain show outside. This place really is classy, and very elaborate. There are plenty of fine dining options as well as other great amenities here. While visiting, you really need to check out the Botanical Gardens. The Botanical Gardens is an elaborate garden display that changes seasonally. It is really a unique sight.

The Venetian is an Italian themed hotel. It has gondolas that go inside the mall, and in front of the hotel. Guests can actually ride in them with singing gondoliers. The Venetian puts an emphasis on Italian themed art and decor. The ceilings are painted like the Sistine Chapel, and the tile work and wall decorations bring the whole look together for a great visual stimulation.

At the top of the MGM Grand, you will find the MGM Skylofts. The Skylofts are great rooms with lots of amenities and luxuries that you won’t find in a normal room at the MGM Grand. As far as the MGM Grand itself, it’s a very large establishment with a huge variety of dining, gaming, and entertainment. It isn’t as flashy as the Wynn, Venetian, or Bellagio, but it is still a very nice place.

One of the most famous casino resort/real-estate developers in the world is Steve Wynn. His previous projects include the Mirage, Treasure Island, and the Bellagio before they were sold. Since then, he has outdone himself yet again with the Wynn and most recently its sister hotel Encore.

The Wynn, which Steve claims as, “The only hotel I’ve ever signed my name to” really has has a lot to offer its guests. In the Wynn, you’ll find fine dining, the Esplanade Shoppes which feature some of the most famous brands in retail, to a golf course, and even a Ferrari/Maserati dealership! Around every turn you will find visually stimulating displays. The Wynn really puts emphasis on luxury and great service, and is a great place to stay in Las Vegas.

You will find all of these places stunning, and absolutely wonderful. Keep in mind if you are looking for drafts or blackjack you won’t find it in these places. Be prepared to shell out a few extra dollars, but at the same time, if you can afford it the service and amenities in these hotels are second to none. Sometimes you just have to spoil yourself.
